Upgraded the DISA using the GAS kit, changed pulleys (just tensioner and idler, AC tensioner was fine!), changed belts, replaced RR midrange speaker (fried). The car drives much better with the new DISA, belts, and pulleys. My original DISA looked perfectly good though.
Bav,
What prompted you to consider the retrofit kit? Did you suffer from any of the common symptoms or was this for a peace of mind? :p

However, I'm still very happy that I did it and would do it again if given the choice. The GAS kit is perfectly engineered and is in every way superior to the OEM design.
Even though the DISA looked fine, the car drives much better now. It's much smoother through the rpm band. This could've resulted from replacing the belts and pulleys, but she's driving like a dream now. I can't believe it made such a difference. My belts weren't too bad and only one pulley required replacing (I replaced two anyways). I'm running at 68k miles.
That's good to know. Thanks Bav!
